Abstract

La présente invention concerne un système de planification de voyage multimodal. Un sous-système de réception de données de voyage reçoit une adresse de source et de destination associée à un voyage depuis un utilisateur. Un sous-système de planification d'itinéraire de voyage permet de planifier une ou plusieurs options d'itinéraire possibles pour le voyage. Un sous-système de suggestion d'itinéraire permet de déterminer un itinéraire associé à une ou plusieurs options d'itinéraire correspondantes, pour suggérer au moins une option de route optimale lors de la détermination de l'itinéraire associé aux une ou plusieurs options d'itinéraire correspondantes sur la base d'une pluralité de règles de suggestion d'itinéraire. Un sous-système de réservation de ticket permet de recevoir une demande de réservation de ticket depuis l'utilisateur, pour générer un ticket à base de code unique pour faciliter la réservation des un ou plusieurs services de transport couverts dans l'au moins une option d'itinéraire optimale. Un sous-système de génération de retour de déclenchement génère un score de parcours à la fin du voyage sur la base d'une pluralité de paramètres d'expérience de conduite.
